I'm more looking forward to the release of the Novel 14, then the OVA personally, I really wonder will Yoshida chan become a flamehaze with the way the story is going, she did recive the token from Fileth and all.

back to nanoha, do you guy think there is any chance that nanoha's brother and sister is going fight with evil guys maybe, they do have insane swordsmanship and all, or it more like a vain hope

I've only seen as far as the Shakugan no Shana anime goes, so I don't really know what else is going on...

About nanoha: I seriously doubt it, they don't have any magical power, their swords would probably break when they clashed against a device or a barrier jacket.

Normal weapons can't do a thing against high-tech magical armor/weapons

well if nanoha has magic potential it could run through the family...maybe just not as strong as nanoha and the fact that they dont have any devices to awaken that power...but yea thinking about it again its probably a no as they are more of a support charater offering advice

I kind of agree because Fate goes through so much concrete apparently unharmed when she's fighting Signum, but on the other hand she routinely fights with Bardiche in Device Mode just using the physical blade against very heavily-armored opponents like Signum (before she had access to Haken) and the Book, so it might be that physical attacks can act as an equalizer when your opponent has an advantage in magical power.

Like there's only a basic level of physical defense in their armor that isn't as easy to increase as the magical aspect. That or they just 'tune' it to take magical damage over physical because magical damage is the type they're likely to receive in quantity...

I agree with that. Note that when Vita broke away the jacket, she was practically dead. Other than he amazingly badass last attempt to shoot Vita before the cavalry saved her, she looked like she would die from internal injuries soon if help hadn't come so I do think physical damage is registered on a much grander scale.

Actually, one of my favourite scenes is when Reinforce punches through Nanoha's barrier. Until then we've always seen barriers need huge attacks and a lot of grunting and shouting to break through. She just decks it and BOOM! Shattered.

Actually, IIRC the only time we see a diagramic barrier broken before that is when Vita smacks Arf's with her hammer. And that didn't so much look to be a break as to have caused enough feedback that Arf lost the barrier, since it just faded out after the hit instead of shattering into a million pieces.

True, Reinforce dark version was insanely powerful, and probably was because of Hayate's intervention that she "split up", leaving the good Reinforce with Hayate and her knights, and only the Beserk Reinforce remained to fight Nanoha and the others.

The power of Yami no Sho probably came from it's original form as the Tome of the Night Sky, who's purpose was to learn as much magic as possible with it's master, but it got currupted, you know the rest.

That would explain how Reinforce dark version copies Fate and Nanoha's attacks and when it turned berserk how it materialized parts of the monsters whose linker cores devoured.

We're kind of stuck in terms of not knowing how the original book functioned. Chrono described it as just an 'archival book' but it obviously had to be pretty powerful to begin with to end up the way it did. So how much of its exotic abilities to feed off of and fuse with the owner, absorb magic, create false worlds, create a body for itself, and use the magic it knows came from the original form is left to supposition...

Arf used Barrier Breaker on Vita's shield in spisode two, before Vita smacked Arf. Also in Ep1 I think Vita broke though Nanoha's Round Shield and later on the Protection...

Ergh... quoted and didn't edit... we need a delete function or something...
